GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
GLP2R
Synonyms
Description
Glucagon-like peptide 2 receptor (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a G protein-coupled receptor that is closely related to the glucagon receptor and binds to glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP2). Signalling through GLP2 stimulates intestinal growth and increases villus height in the small intestine, concomitant with increased crypt cell proliferation and decreased enterocyte apoptosis.
